Smart, Safe, and Open to the World!
Joy to the World is a fun and safe place for your child, from infants to Elementary 4th Grade, to learn and grow through creativity.
Classes at Joy
From first steps, to first grade!
From the earliest stages of development to the start of formal education, we're committed to providing exceptional experiences for children and their families. With over 20 years of experience in Bunkyo-Ku, our programs help young learners take their first steps toward a lifetime of learning.
We designed our full-day classes to meet the unique needs of each age group. We offer Pre-Kindergarten and Joy Tots for children aged 1 and 2 and Kindergarten (K1, K2, & K3) for ages 3 to 6.
In addition to our full-day programs, we offer Afterschool programs and Extra-Curricular Classes that provide a safe and supportive environment for continued growth and development beyond regular school hours.
Our Afterschool Kindergarten (AK) is designed for children aged 3 to 6, while our Afterschool Elementary (AE) is tailored for 1st to 4th-grade students. Both programs provide enriching experiences that support the development of critical literacy skills in a nurturing and engaging atmosphere.

Video Spotlight!
Welcome to our Video Spotlight series, a look at Joy to the World's approach to early childhood education in Tokyo, Japan. Each video shares insights into our unique teaching methods and philosophy. This week, learn how we incorporate recycling into our curriculum in a fun and creative way.
Creative Recycling: Fostering Environmental Awareness in Early Childhood Education
Engaging in Fun Children's Play Activities
Repurposing everyday materials is a fundamental part of early childhood education at Joy to the World. Together, we engage in fun children's play activities, transforming plastic bottles and milk cartons into unique crafts and plant holders while learning to see the potential hidden in everyday items.
The Value of Recycling in Our Kindergarten Programs
This simple strategy, integral to our kindergarten programs, shows children the value of recycling. It's not just about reusing what we might consider trash but fostering creativity and environmental awareness.
Inspiring a Greener Future
We hope this glimpse into our daily activities inspires you and your family to see the potential in everyday items. By repurposing materials, we can all contribute to a greener future and make a difference in the world.

Joy Values
Education for All
Children deserve the best education. So whether Joy to the World is your first school at 18 months old to two years old, or if you are starting at three years or older, we are ready for your child. After graduating from Joy to the World, many students stay in our Afterschool programs while going to Japanese Elementary schools. Others go on to International Elementary schools here in Tokyo and around the world.
Through more than 20 years of teaching children of all levels and ages, we have learned to nurture children, celebrate their individuality, and encourage their strengths.
